art style from the pc version looks far more realistic and shadows is better, draw distance, textures,.... well the pc version just looks better in every aspect. Cryengine 2 is still better than the Cryengine 3.

About time someone did a comparison on the PC's terms @ 1080p to show the true difference. For too long sites have cut PC off at the legs down to 720p to compare, when no one plays in 720p on PC, nearly everyone plays at one higher resolution or another.

Even with youtube's compression it is obvious the gap is vast. I got disagrees yesterday for saying that the console version looks great- IF you had not seen it side by side with the PC one.

I can always tell when pc/xbox 360/ps3 gamers comment on something that their fighting to keep better on their platform, lol. All these comments crack me up. "OBVIOUSLY" this game looks much better here on the Xbox 360, everything is better, now yes you see a farther draw distance in "1" scene on pc, well that's maybe b/c an excellent lighting system is being used on the 360 or maybe pc draws better farther, regardless. Seriously, the game is much much better on the consoles now and remember most people, not you hardcore pc gamers but most can't run at the same settings that this is, "BUT" it still looks hella great on the pc after all these years and some big patches to boost it. Were all just fortunate that we can play it on consoles now.

Whoa! Crytek did an excellent job so far putting Crysis on the CryEngine 3. The game looks very good on the 360 and consolers are in for a treat as long as the Crysis game play stays true which i'm sure Crytek did since they went the extra mile on this conversion.

Good Job Crytek and the 360 version looks GREAT!!

The CryEngine 2 was never meant for consoles as it requires lots of GPU power to get maximum results but once the maximum results are achieved you can clearly see the beauty of the Cryengine 2.

Not to take away from the great looking 360 version but the CryEngine 2 just offers way more photo realistic gameplay and the Pc hardware allows for more detail, texture depth, and animation.

They did do a great job on consoles...i remember hearing EVERYWHERE that neither console could come 'close' to Crysis visually...here it is...and considering the age of the consoles, its more than acceptable...

the physics are there, the animation is there, and the entire world is there...it just falls short on textures, res, and AA...but sitting 10 feet back from a 46" TV; i never care about those things...

too bad they didn't fix the original'a AI though...saw a few game videos earlier...its still hot trash...

whats the problem with that? You don't want them to gimp the pc version to look worse than the xbox version do you? Unlike the other gimped pc vs xbox comparisons this obviously shows the superiority of the pc graphics. A $600 pc can easily run this at the setting the video is running at.

And anyways the pc version is not modded in this comparison. If you want to see modded then you are in for a surprise ;)

Ummm, no, the PC version is NOT modded. And so what if the settings are on Very High? What, we PC users should gimp our version in both resolution AND settings so that you can feel better about your console port? The only way to appropriately compare the two is to max out the PC version to make it look as pretty as it can. Otherwise, what's the point?

Still, it's pretty sad that a four year-old game, made on a far less optimized engine (CE2), is far superior to its console brethren.

I am the creator of the video. If you take the time to watch the second half, you could see that I had used footage using very low PC settings as well. Also: The PC footage which I recorded myself, was not modded in any way.

Amazing comparison! I will definitely be going back to that site for comparison vids.

Now down to business; I bought the 360 version and still admit the PC is leagues better looking. The little things make a big difference. However, it still looks great considering how old the hardway is, it was 20 bucks well spent.

Water, alpha and lighting look better on the console version, it's just a benefit of the newer engine. The overall picture still looks better on PC because of the amazing amount of foliage, better res and no ugly artifacts - this should be a jungle after all and the extra horsepower of the PC makes it an amazingly looking one.

Why does my comparison using vanilla DX10 Very High Crysis on PC look vastly different to this video which claims to use vanilla PC footage. My vanilla DX10 Crysis PC video is embedded below as "Related Video." My version's sun is orange and in a different spot at the same moment in time. The OP's video is a different color sun and is at a different angle. What gives?
